Another Anamesa opportunity

Join Anamesa!

Come to the Spring 2011 kick-off meeting to meet your fellow graduate students and learn how you can get involved:

Thursday, January 27th at 6:30-9:30pm
King Juan Carlos Center, Reading Room

Anamesa, a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary anthology of graduate student work, is published twice yearly, and based out of NYU's John W. Draper Interdisciplinary Master's Program in Humanities and Social Thought and the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies. The journal has just wrapped up its last issue, titled Intersections, and is keen on moving forward in a big way: more submissions, more editorial input from everyone, more art, more design, and more fun. Anamesa is one of the few graduate student forums in the country that not only engages with issues of transdisciplinarity, but produces a printed product.
Volunteering for Anamesa is not a tremendous time commitment, but it is a community of highly motivated editors who are passionate about publishing. And we need new staff members at all levels of the organization:

• article editors
• selection committee members
• proofreaders and copy editors
• editors for our online version
• layout and design
• publicity

Interested? Be sure to come by the general meeting on Thursday, January 27th at 6:30-9:30pm in the Reading Room of the King Juan Carlos I of Spain Center. If you have any questions before the meeting, feel free to contact the senior editorial staff at anamesa.journal@gmail.com. You can also learn more about the journal and read our latest issue at http://www.nyu.edu/pubs/anamesa/index.htm, and be sure to fan us on Facebook.
See you then!

Calling for Anamesa Spring 2011 Submissions!

Spring 2011 Issue of Anamesa

Anamesa, a peer-reviewed interdisciplinary journal of graduate student writing and art based at
New York University, is now accepting submissions for its Spring 2011 print issue. Graduate
students across all disciplines are encouraged to send in writing (including but not limited to
academic essays, creative non-fiction, reportage, interviews, reviews, short stories, poetry, and
other unclassifiable prose creations) and art of all sorts (such as photography, drawings,
paintings, film stills, posters, prints, etc.). Anamesa considers material from diverse subject
matter, and publishes creative and intelligent works that exemplify the transdisciplinary spirit of
the graduate community.

Submission guidelines for papers: Include complete paper (up to 6000 words), abstract (up to
200 words), and cover sheet. Academic papers must adhere to the Chicago Manual of Style. All
paper submissions—both non-fiction and fiction—are blind-reviewed so there should be no
author-identifying information in the text of the paper. Although the publication will be in English,
we are also interested in texts in translation.

Submission guidelines for art works: Visual art submissions must be in digital format with a
minimum resolution of 300 DPI and no smaller than 5 x 7 inches.

The submission deadline is February 18th. Send submissions and queries to
anamesa.journal@gmail.com. Please include in the body of the email: your name,
departmental affiliation, expected degree and date, telephone number, and email address. We
accept multiple submissions, but we ask that you place each submission in a different email
message with the subject heading listing the relevant genre (e.g., “essay,” “fiction,” or
“photography”). All works MUST be produced by members of the graduate community (student
or faculty) and failure to disclose university affiliation will result in the rejection of your
submission.

For further information and to view previous issues of Anamesa, visit www.anamesajournal.org.
Printed copies of Anamesa are available at the office for the John W. Draper Interdisciplinary
Master's Program in Humanities and Social Thought at 14 University Place.

Spring 2011 edition of On the Square, a newsletter produced to celebrate the accomplishments of GSAS students. If you have received a fellowship or award for the current academic year and would like to have your name included in the newsletter, please send me your full name, the name of the foundation or organization providing your scholarship, and the title of the scholarship (if there is one).

If you would rather not be included in the newsletter, but would be willing to share your scholarship information with me for Draper's annual report for the Deans' Office, that would also be greatly appreciated.
